Chase Ingraham is one of the most recognizable voices in CrossFit. His CrossFit journey started with the goal of getting “muscles and a girlfriend” and evolved into a life-changing experience as an affiliate owner and CrossFit Games commentator.
But life shifted when he stepped away from affiliate ownership, Ingraham lost more than a gym — he lost his support system. When he was sidelined by an old injury, his drive and sense of self began to suffer. Out of shape and out of sync, Ingraham had to face a hard truth: even the most disciplined athletes can lose their way.
His comeback to CrossFit wasn’t just physical. It was a return to purpose, vulnerability, and the community that gave him everything: fitness, connection, and a zest for life. Today, Chase doesn’t just talk about CrossFit, he embodies it.
In the second episode of this two-part series, learn how Ingraham found his way back to CrossFit.
